As part of its effort to assist its graduates to become well- educated and enlightened citizens, to be sensitive and tolerant of diverse beliefs and practices in our contemporary society, and to engage effectively with diverse peoples and cultures, the University requires all students to complete a course focusing on gender, race, and ethnicity prior to graduation.

Courses approved for this equity requirement (Gender, Race, and Ethnicity) can not satisfy either Area or Theme requirements for General Education.

The list of approved courses is published in the quarterly Schedule of Classes.  It is also available in the Academic Advising & Information Center (AAIC), the Undergraduate Studies Office, and relevant school dean and department offices.  CSUB accepts equivalent and similar courses offered at other institutions of higher education.

Students with questions about this requirement should discuss them with their advisor or the Dean of Undergraduate Studies (EDUC 242, 654-3420).
